Congress Proposes Giant Rubber Duck Wall to Shield Auto Industry
The quacking of a nation as legislators float new ideas

'Rubber ducks have shown resilience as bath-time companions, so why not use them to guard our automotive sanctity?'
In a bold and slightly buoyant move, House lawmakers have proposed the construction of an unprecedented wall made entirely of rubber ducks to protect the American auto industry from foreign vehicle incursions. This quack-tacular barrier aims to keep the roads free of foreign influence while adding a playful touch to America's coastline.
At a press conference, Representative Ducksworth (R-Mallard) elaborated on the concept, stating, "We need something both impermeable and impervious to distraction. Rubber ducks have shown remarkable resilience as bath-time companions, so why not use them to guard our automotive sanctity?"
The plan figures to employ millions of ducks, standing resolutely with their vibrant yellow hues and unyielding smiles, creating a cheerful demarcation line along the national perimeter. Estimations suggest the wall would be visible from space, providing not just security but a source of national pride, possibly more effective than any mere steel or concrete structure.
Critics have raised concerns about the environmental impact and the possible cacophony of millions of ducks bobbing in the breeze. Proponents, however, remain undeterred, touting the dual benefit of national security and enhanced tourism as families flock to visit what could become the eighth wonder of the world.
